Ace Etchart stars in Chicago

Imagine only being back in the United
States for a month, coming to Helena and
auditioning for a show, getting a call back
and the finding out two days later that you
will be the lead in Grandstreet Theatre's
musical Chicago.
This is what happened to fourth year
theatre major Ace Etchart from Glasgow,
Mont. Last year Etchart studied abroad
in Japan and returned to Carroll College
this year.
Within four days of returning to Helena,
Etchart found out that she would be starring as one of the leads, Roxie Hart.
"I was surprsised and delighted when
1 found out 1 had gotten the part," said
Etchart. "Roxie was on my list of roles
that I would like to play throughout my
career."
Over 60 people auditioned for the
famed musical and seven were called back
for the role of Roxie. The cast was then
narrowed down to 30 performers.
Etchart has been in six plays at Carroll,
but this is her first role as a main character.
"When I met with the production
team after auditions, it was unanimously
decided that Ace was the perfect Roxie,"
said director Adam Wagner. "After seven
weeks of rehearsal, she has not disappointed us. She carries this show with
great talent and personality."
"A show like Chicago is interesting
Ace Etchart performing as Roxie Hart
because it is such a big musical." said
Etchart. "People think that the lead role
entails a lot of memorization and a big
load on the person's shoulders, but the
ensemble does just as much. The work
load really is distributed evenly because
the ensemble is still in a ton of numbers."
Etchart's role as Roxie Hart was challenging for her as a perfomer. She sees
herself as "more of a character actor" who
plays funny characters.

"Roxie is funny, but is also sexy and
evil," said Etchart. "The woman lacks
heart and it has been difficult to relate to
her because she is such a terrible person.
1 am not sexy or ruthless, but 1 have enjoyed the challenge."
While Roxie is a sexy character, Etchart
did play the role of U 11a in The Producers two years ago. According to Etchart,
while Ula is sexy she was more of a

Senator Tester visits Carroll
Kati Soito

U.S. Sen. Jon Tester visited Carroll
College on Thursday, Oct. 21. fester
spent his time visiting with students and
also held a question and answer session
for students and community members.
Nearly 50 students attended the session in
addition to Carroll faculty and members
of the Helena community.
"Sen. Tester's talk was really great,"
said Hmily Dean, a freshman history and
international relations major from Butte.
"I'm a little biased because I paged for
him and have known him for awhile, but
I think that the audience was receptive of
everything he said."
According to Austin Lyle, senior
political science and history major from
Idaho Falls, Idaho, Tester answered
questions about the country's tough
economic times and how he is able to
get legislation that will ultimately benefit
Montana, passed at the federal level.
He also took on some tougher topics,
such as the dependence on foreign energy,
the new healthcare bill and how to create
more jobs and turn the economy around.
"He talked about a lot of issues and
the complexity of how he [as a senator]
votes," said Lyle. "Even if it is something
he doesn't agree with at times, he will
vote with his constituents."
Tester discussed how times are tough
for the nation economically and how
he believes that the governor and the
legislature have done a great job of
During the question and answer portion,
Tester was also asked about howr to
address the rising cost of college and wolf
population management as well as the
current wars.
"I thought it was really great that
Sen.Tester took time out of his busy
schedule to come answer our questions,"
said Kristina Buchan, senior political
science and sociology major from Idaho
Falls, Idaho. "He had some very helpful
information about some pretty contested
issues in politics and it encouraged me to
stay involved and vote this November."
The question and answer section started
slowly, but students and community
members found their voices and asked
questions.
"I thought it was very informative and
everyone else seemed to enjoy it and
asked great questions," said Dean.
"The reason that I like Jon Tester is
that you can tell he isn't really a liberal
or a conservative," said Chris Axtman, a
sophomore political science major from
Portland, Ore. "He just does what he
thinks is best for Montana."
Tester has been a U.S. senator since
November of 2006. He first ran for senate
in 1997 and served two, four-year terms
in the Montana Legislature. In 2005 he
was chosen to serve as president of the
Montatana Senate.
For students that missed the opportunity
to meet with Tester, he will return to
campus Sunday, Oct. 31 with Sen. Max
Baucus.
The two will be in the Cube at 3 p.m.
